Advice for my great, great, great grandchildren

The older I get, the more I realize how much there’s yet to learn. Life lessons are never-ending and have no age limits — thank goodness. Often, they are achieved through blood, sweat and tears, which makes them more valuable than the newest piece of technology or fancy car parked in the driveway. And, unlike the newest 4G gizmo, their relevance endures through generations.

Fifty may be the new 30 for some things ...

My wife Michelle and I built our house about 12 years ago now. One of the things that appealed to me at the time about building new was not having the unexpected cost of home repairs that come with older houses. The other thing that appealed to me was that Michelle told me, “We are building new.”
